strint <-> intsr help

[Chimaera]

I'm having trouble with converting the numbers from integers to string even though I'm doing it the way the reference said it should be done.

code:

var num : int var fnum : string get num for i : 1 .. num - 1     num := num * i end for intstr (num) := fnum put fnum

I don't understand where exactly my error is or what I'm doing wrong. Can someone please help me out? btw my program is just a figuring out the factorial powers of whole numbers from 1..user input in case anybody was wondering. [/code]

your problem is right here:

code:

intstr (num) := fnum

with that line you are trying to assign assign a string to a string that holds a number (whatever number num ends up being at the time).

intstr converts an integer to a string
strint converts a string to an integer (you might want to use the strintok function first)

what i think you want is

code:

num := strint (fnum)

of course that doesn't make any sense, especially considering fnum isn't defined. so maybe what i think you meant was

code:

fnum := intstr (num)

thanks a bundle I finally got the program to work the way I wanted to because I reworded it the way you suggested.

I still heard that I should ask dan to write up some code just to stop Mazer from recieving any bits

[AsianSensation]

would it even matter?

Mazer will probably come up with Evasive Manuever II, and we'll all end up refilling ammo for his bit-gun anyways

[Tony]

he should still be recieving bits for Evasive Manuever I

*sniff* you guys... you really love my shitty game that much... makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.
